I way, way preferred New Vegas' worldbuilding to Fallout 3's; it felt like a (reasonably) realistic envisioning of what a post-nuclear society would turn out to be like two hundred years or so after the bombs dropped. Entire nations have emerged, there are populated cities and towns that feel much more realistically sustained and it just feels real. That and the faction approval system makes your actions feel like they have much more impact. The DC Wasteland's worldbuilding, on the other hand, felt like it was, at most, 20 years after the war, and it didn't feel all that well thought out (looking at you, Little Lamplight).

I agree 100% to this. FO3 was not 200 years after, if it was it would have been much more built up (I think).

Would have been the opposite way round; two hundred years after that, if nobody maintained the buildings, most of the Downtown area would at that point be a large area of undulating rocky hillocks where the structures had collapsed and become covered with vegetation and soil. The only built up areas would have been were people chose to live, and given that nuclear bombs had fallen by this point, most towns or cities would actually pop up in suburban/rural areas where it would have had the room to grow crops and raise livestock. The city itself would be stripped clean by scavengers and then would left to rot on account of having next to nothing to offer to survivors.
